West Brom have been handed a boost after Rekeem Harper agreed to sign a new three-year contract at the Championship club.
The 19-year-old former academy midfielder's previous contract at the Hawthorns expired a week ago and he had been linked with a possible move to Celtic.
Rekeem is progressing as a player and we are confident that if he continues to work hard he will play a prominent role in the first team over the coming years.

But, after speaking with new boss Slaven Bilic, Harper has been persuaded to stay put and continue his progress with Albion next season.
The England under-19 international made 19 appearances as West Brom reached the Championship play-off semi-finals last season, but he is now expected to play a bigger part under Bilic with promotion back to the Premier League the target.
Technical Director, Luke Dowling, said on the club's website: "We are pleased Rekeem has committed his future to the club having been with us from such a young age.
"Rekeem is progressing as a player and we are confident that if he continues to work hard he will play a prominent role in the first team over the coming years."
West Brom are 10/1 to win the Championship in 2019-20, while they are available at 3/1 to be promoted.
